RESULT OF A QUARREL.
SON SHOOTS HIS STEPFATHER. Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A sensational incident happened at North Duuedin about 7 o'clock to-night, when a young man named John Stephen Toomey went home in Cumberland street, and, it is alleged, a dispute arose between him and his stepfather, Daniel McOurdy, a farmer by occupation. The latter, it is said, threw a knife at Toomey, cutting him on the arm, and Toomey, leaving the room, procured a rifle and tired at McCurdy through the window, the bullet striking McOurdy in the thigh. Toomey was arrested on a charge of discharging firearms with intent to do grievous bodily harm. McCurdy walked to the hospital, where lie was attended to.
